The opposition UPND has announced that it is taking further steps to officially write to the UN Secretary General on the conduct of its Resident Representative Janet Rogan.
UPND Deputy Secretary General Patrick Mucheleka said the party will report Ms Rogan to the UN Chief together with accompanying documentation as proof of her compromised position.
He has since challenged the UNDP Resident Coordinator Janet Rogan and the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to tell the nation on the credibility of the 2016 elections since the UN funded report has been unearthed and published.
Below is the full statement from Mr Mucheleka.
PRESS STATEMENT
11th April 2018
PF DEFENCE OF JANET ROGAN CONFIRMS SHE IS COMPROMISED
Now that the UN funded report has been unearthed and published, we challenge the UNDP Resident Coordinator Janet Rogan and the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to tell the nation on the credibility of the 2016 elections.
Janet Rogan was on record immediately after the elections declaration at Mulungushi Conference Centre telling the media that the elections were free and fair and that those that had lost must move on and look to the 2021 elections.
But her own report has identified massive flaws in the entire process hence putting into question the credibility of the 2016 elections.
The report that was commissioned and funded by the UN system in Zambia under Janet Rogan’s watch has vindicated what we have been saying that the UN Resident Coordinator in Zambia is highly compromised, that’s why she never wanted that report released.
And for us, it comes as no surprise that when the UPND President Hakainde Hichilema questions the impartiality of Janet Rogan, it is the PF as a political party under Sunday Chanda that has rushed to her defense.
Had it been the government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, one would have understood, but Janet Rogan being defended by PF political cadres clearly confirms our long held view that she is heavily partisan and compromised.
Since when did the PF fall in love with international organisations with their recent record of deporting the Cuban Ambassador and deporting delegates who recently came for the formation of the Socialist Party?
PF have been on record condemning any attempts by foreign entities to interfere in Zambia’s affairs but they are now conveniently protecting Janet Rogan.
For the record, the UPND President, Hakainde Hichilema, never attacked the UN system. He actually said he respects the principles and values of the UN such as justice and equity based on respect for law and order. But Mr. Hichilema was concerned with the conduct of some of the UN staff members like Janet Rogan who has completely veered off the UN principles of respect for human rights and freedoms.
We know that all institutions of governance in Zambia have completely collapsed and the country is dangerously sliding into chaos, yet Janet Rogan has remained conspicuously quiet.
This country has been experiencing numerous incidences of political violence and injustices not seen in modern history. Opposition leaders have been brutalised and yet Janet Rogan has been absent when in fact she is supposed to take a proactive role as head of UN in Zambia . Instead, her office has met all these impunities with a deafening silence.
We are once more challenging Janet Rogan to release the post 2016 Review Report which basically indicts the UNDP as having been complicit in the mismanagement of the elections in Zambia leading to political tension in the country today.
Meanwhile, as UPND, we are taking further steps by officially writing to the UN Secretary General on the conduct of their staff member Janet Rogan together with accompanying documentation as proof of her compromised position.
Patrick Mucheleka
UPND Deputy Secretary General
Kwena Mashilu aya. Here is some paper and ink! Knock yourselves out!
Impenfu shabantu. Honestly these are roches for real.
Now you wait and see…that’s the way you do it, you will definitely hear a response from New York instead of barking like a toothless dog.
Ba kolwe aba. Ba bula ifyakuchita???
Yes yes ……..we too as individuals can and must complain to the UN at Mrs Rogans complicity in the violence meeted by PF caders on the opposition by way of her silence….
But these guys ba UPND. Twanaka helping you. They are losing popularity. Where is Ba Katuka? This Mucheleka is another Chanda.
There is new Socialist party on the block.
That is exactly what the UN is known for – destroy democracy in Africa. If they didn’t, they long would have been out of business.
If your opponent starts a wild goose chase, why do you want to stop them? Isn’t that supposed to be to your advantage? No PF time or resources will be wasted here. So why are people damning UPND for what they want to do? Simple straightforward questions for intelligent UPND and HH critics to answer.
The UN are about to ignite another fire in a once peaceful country. That’s how they create jobs for themselves.
THIS IDEA, “YA NALASOSA KUMUSUNGU”, I HATE IT. SURELY, BA UPND EVERY TIME IMWE YOU WILL JUST BE REPORTING NE FISUSHI NGO MUNTU ANYA KUMU SUNGU? I HATE THIS INFERIORITY COMPLEX UPND ENDLESSLY HAS.
IS IT NOT JUST YESTERDAY YOU REPORTED TO TRUMP… AND WE ALL KNOW THE RESPONSE YOU GOT FROM THE WHITE HOUSE?
The UPND has finally taken heed of Jay Jay advice to complain to the UN secretary Genreal. Jay Jay for President!
Vya ku lolavye te vya ku vyanga …
Elo kubufi bapena ati “We know that all institutions of governance in Zambia have completely collapsed and the country is dangerously sliding into chaos!” Yet it is upnd who are rabid and causing all sorts of mayhems. And who gets brutalized here in Zambia apart from law breakers? You can’t have it both ways: police/judiciary collapsed and lawbreakers should not be caned! Are you mad???
These guys will end up complaining just about everyone in the world! Malabishi yeka yeka!
Has God got an email address? Please give it to Upnd so that they can complain to him against Jesus’s interference with the election. 2 years down the line still complaining.
That is the reason the have started attending church. They shall complain to Jehovah shortly, if they have not already.
Isn’t God supposed to be omnipresent according to those of you who are believers? Why tell a being that is supposed to know everything? Note that I don’t use pronouns to refer to God because I don’t what gender applies. These are the contradictions in logic that made me leave the church.
@3.2, There are no contradictions. Matters about God are not about logic but faith. Logic cannot explain faith (Hebrews 11:6).
What part of the word move on do they not understand.Tonga interpretation needed please.
Last kicks of a dying horse.
Kamuhenda banene!
UPND IS FULL OF FOOLS.I STOPPED SUPPORTING PF A LONG TIME AGO BECAUSE OF MMD WHO HAVE INFILTRATED PF LIKE ZODWA SILIYA AND I HAD HOPED THAT UPND CAN OFFER ALTERNATIVE AS OPPOSITION POLITICAL PARTY BUT IAM VERY MUCH DISAPPOINTED WITH THESE FELLOWS THAT UP TO THEY ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT 2016 ELECTIONS.
THAT IS WHY FOR UP TO NOW I HAVE NO PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN MIND TO VOTE FOR IN 2021.UPND MUST GROW AND STOP DRAGGING INNOCENT PEOPLE IN THEIR FAILURES TO WIN ELECTION FOR FIVE TIMES.
JUST AFTER THE ELECTIONS,WE ASKED UPND TO SHOW US THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA THEIR PVT RESULTS TO BACK UP THEIR CLAIM THAT THEY WON ELECTIONS,EVEN TODAY I APPEAL TO UPND TO PUBLISH THEIR PVT RESULTS BUT I KNOW THAT THIS THEY WON’T DO BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY LOST ELECTIONS.
THE CHURCH MOTHER BODIES MONITORED…
If UPND and it’s leader HH are not checked will end up being label group. They are so desperate to the extent that even a dog can laugh at them. UPND is equal to icisushi.
yes let her b recalled..we shall make sure that incompetent president is impeached..this guy has managed to twit down all the progress mwanawasa made.wat kind of a president so weak u can’t make decisive decisions.unless wen u r charging against ur opponents… frustrated pf cadre
What progress did Mwanawasa make when you wanted to impeach him as well. I will not be surprise is NDC became the power on govt and UPND start saying Lungu was better than Kambwili
I thought UPND wanted to meet the same Rogan. Nothing strange with this behaviour. We recall them refusing to accept Lungu ae president but want to negotiate with him. yaba
That was RB, Sata and Lungu brought sanity RB brought back into Zambia.
CONT.
ELECTIONS AND THEIR PVT RESULTS WERE AT PAR WITH THE ECZ THOUGH THERE WAS A SMALL DIFFERENCE.
WHY DIDN’T UPND DISPUTE THE PVT RESULTS WHICH HAD SHOWN THAT ECL HAS WON THE ELECTIONS BUT WERE QUICK TO DISPUTE ECZ RESULTS. WHAT A SHAME AND I THINK UPND ARE TIME WASTERS.
SURELY IT ALMOST TWO YEARS SINCE THE LAST ELECTIONS AND THEY ARE STILL CRYING FOR THE SAME ELECTIONS.
WHAT EVER YOU WILL DO NOTHING WILL TAKE YOU TO STATE HOUSE AND ALL THE INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS HAVE RECOGNIZED LUNGU AS THE DULY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA. GROW UP AND MOVE ON AND THE MORE TIME YOU SPEND CRYING ABOUT 2016 ELECTIONS,YOUR FRIENDS IN PF ARE BUSY MOBILIZING THEIR PARTY.
MUCHELEKA AND ESPECIALLY GBM WHO WAS IN PF AND LOST ELECTIONS WITH THE LATE MCS MUST PUMP SENSE IN HH.
THE WOMAN YOU ARE…
Upnd is composed only of bitter persons and only a small percentage is of level headed people.
Nauseating pediatric boy!
It is time Zambia removed this cancer from the peaceful nation.
Mamama….! This complaint is so funny. I don’t believe it’s for real. Was it signed off by the senior party leaders? It reminds me of the time we were young and one would complain about the other’s fried egg being bigger than his just because the egg white spread wider on the frying pan. The complaint is so childish and unjustified!!!
‘”ONLY A TONGA MUST LEAD UPND” Says Sejani. These people are surely not only cry babies but also mental patients! UPND how could you wage political battles against the ECZ, ECL, Judiciary, the speaker of the national assembly, churches, civil societies and now the UN. What political strategy is this mwebantu? UPND should know that they are not in government to expect UN envoys to talk to them on behalf of UN. Janet represents UN interests in Zambia and the those interests are in the hands of the government (Not UPND) to care for them, so what is wrong for her to interact with any government official? Furthermore, UPND has failed to substantiate the allegation that the UN envoy helped the PF to rig an election which is a very serious crime.
No Ba Saibwende!!!!!!!!!!!! The UN principles are fairness, impartiality and truthfulness. What was expected of Madam Rogan was to meet both sides. Listen tand make an impartial judgement. She was supposed to call a spade a spade not the big spoon. She was supposed to our President what was wrong with the elections and how to improve them. Do the same with the opposing side. That’s why UN staff don’t report to national Govts. They are international Civil Servants and regulated by the international Charter. They make decisions in the best interest of human rights and fairness. They are not supposed to take sides. Even the declaration of disputed elections (if true) being fair. was un UN value. In this case Janet Rogan is a contraceptive to Zambia’s demoncracy and must be recalled.
I seriously have no problem with HH and his UPND party. However, have serious problems with those that support HH and his personal property UPND.
HH is sick in head and I think his supporters too. Ukucema ing’ombe kulonaula umuntu because ifisushi fya ng’ombe is very dangerous to the brain of a person.
Bembas understand what very well and this the reason why tabateka ing’ombe ababemba
The Zambian pipo are tired of the UPND donkey tricks.
What took them so long to write the UN?
The UPND stink of immaturity.
Which part of Zambia is sliding into chaos?
Dundumwezi must be sliding into chaos….
UPND are not serious, they just want to weigh the mood of the people. Why not simply write to the UN Secretary General without rushing to the media?
“Mum, Davy has slapped me!”
Ehhhh…..you are a sexual deviant as well ??
DESPERATE PEOPLE LIKE UPND CHARACTERS DO DESPERATE THINGS……!!!!
UN UNDERSTAND YOUR TRICKS AND YOUR PASSION OF WANTING TO BE IN POWER AT ALL COSTS….FIGHTING AND SUSPECTING ALMOST ALL THE INSTITUTIONS SIVINTHU !!!
tahts the best way to go UPND…viva
Look at the PF rats above out in force…..let the UN comment before you attack anyone with different views from you kawalalas……….
Don’t get this. Don’t these opposition guys have better things to do really. Go out in the villages/towns and mobilize your party membership, as well as telling people what you would do better once elected. Dealing with useless issues will not win you voters but to the contrary
If Zambians have seen something wrong with the present Government, we all know what they are capable of doing; Booting out the sitting Govt. We have seen this before. Always problems that are non existance
Yaba tamwa kwata fya ku chita. Takwaba
And get arrested because of the colonial POA,no coverage on deadnbc,beatings when one don’s oposition regalia,beatings at radio stations and unleashing of cadres in police uniforms to beatup those perceived to not agree with the PF
They soon complain against their own shadows that they also voted for PF.
Honestly all of you bloggers attacking HH and the UPND, are you looking at this issue as something for the country or yourselves and the money you are enjoying? Zambia is our country and some of us do not want to be cheated and lied to and hate someone who is acting for what he knows is right. Supposing it were the other way round would you be happy to be cheated?
But you opposed the deportation of the Cuban ambassador and yet here you’re supporting a false allegation. Please be fair and balanced in your postings.
Truly UPND is lost. I really agree with HH when he said Zambia is in a leadership crisis because after PF, there is no leadership in waiting. UPND leaders have stopped reasoning merely for losing 2016 elections. I hope we can have a meaningful political party that can offer checks and balances to PF.
As usual the confused chaps in UPND led by a mad mad have no evidence. We challenge HH to publish his parallel voter registration system and it’s results. Nosense!
Ba PF cadre basho mulilo batole chushi. Are you surely honest with yourself by ignoring the fact that the woman in question is partisan?
Ok granted this lady gets recalled,what would be the advantage to UPND?? Elections will come and will be held under the same conditions which UPND bitterly complained about. Surprisingly they have not done anything to change that set up despite having a presence in parliament. They would rather continue complaining about it than doing something about it. All the energy in fighting this lady,starting the so called impeachment process etc could have been directed at making the ECZ capable of holding credible elections or at least what UPND can call credible elections. May i remind these UPND,even if this lady was to be recalled and ECL is impeached, PF would still be in power!Why not prepare to remove the entire PF out of power??
We know politics are dirty but we need to move away from some of these vices like carderism and 200 B.C tactics of trying to beat people into submission
Good move, UPND. That’s how issues should be tackled under ‘Rule of Law’. You report her to her boss.
Its up to UN and her boss to deal with the matter, based on the evidence that will be made available. And of course she has the right to recourse. Simple as that. So what’s the fuss about here?
Dreams, dreams, dreams when are you going to cease slumbering and be relevant to our mother Zambia
Post nub 5 you’re very collect, ba upnd one thing for sure now is that you don’t have anything to talk about , development you can’t talk about it or petty issues come 2021 mukalila ngaba koswe wat are going to talk abt
Another thing it amazing to note that upnd always condemned everything dora say because she was mmd now were did this money angry mucheleka come from if not mmd , ba upnd mulima chilu your tactics won’t work in zambia all you should do is look into that tag know by hh and upnd
Are you scared? Wait…it will catch up with you soon. You can only manipulate Justice only for a while. Get ready! Shout and shout but soon your voice will be drowned. Justice is coming and I applaud those that are fight for justice. Our forefathers fought for justice and despite the odds, they got it. UPND, never listen to these doomsayers.
What UPND is doing is seek to reclaim samity and respect of laws in our country. The country ha deteriorated towards anarchy and those doing so seem to be getting away with crime. Nearly all institutions have been compromised; completely losing their integrity. Professionals are compromised. What a system. Every opportunity to reclaim our once-upon-glory should be used. Never relent guys and never listen to these criminals that seek to stop you.
If you still doubt that HH and the whole upnd leadership is mad-the above statement is the confirmation!!HH is purely a chainama patient!!everyone now just laughs at HH and upnd.i found a group today on Cairo road saying “what has gone wrong with HH?how did the UN rig 2016 elections?is that the evidence (about UN) HH took to concourt in 2016?”These people were all laughing saying indeed “HH is U-5 Politician!!”
I can just imagine how Zambians in 6.5 provinces are laughing at HH over Ms Janet Rohan and UN issue!!!
HH WILL FORM A TERROR GROUP AFTER LOSING 2021 ELECTIONS-MARK MY WORDS!!
Anyway,good luck for Kainde at UN!!
What UPND lapdogs should know is that you cannot fight the UN not in a Government in power can do that now this is the end of UPND as they have consigned to perpetual opposition and what a terrible ending
Not even a Government in power can fight the UN
The UN has been igniting political fires all over Africa. Now we know them. We are fully awake. To justify its heavy budget, the UN endeavors to create political instability within individual countries in Africa. They sacrifice us, just so they can eat. They want to see us fight, so they can come and negotiate a cease fire.
I knew UPND was right and had information to this effect. Kwena twachula kulibakoswe naba kolwe!!!!!
Iyeee! I knew UPND is full of dull people, mostly Tonga, but I didn’t know they are this foolish!The United Nations (UN) deals with Nations and not political parties, and especially useless political parties full of confused people like UPND! What UPND forget is that they are not in government and can not dictate things in the country! PF are in government and make the decisions! And PF government expel Cuban envoy for meddling in Zambia’s internal affairs, sick UPND says he should not have been expelled! Ambassadors and High Commissioners come on government to government agreement, not government to party! Jesus! Zambians don’t entertain UPND they can run this country down! They are crooks!
Vote For Kambwili in 2021.
Chi mbwili kuntu chafenta chilya pa swearing in ceremony!!!
Comment:let this green snake lady in a green grass go we don’t want her.un call her back she is not straight.PF learn to reason with respect .
Evidence needed.
Much as I don’t like this lady, I don’t just get the gist of the complaint. Is it just my poor understanding?
ALL THE CRITICS ON THIS BLOG ARE BEMBAS.WHY ARE YOU CHAPS LIKE THAT?ALL YOUR KNOW IS INSULTING,STEALING AND COMMENTING ON THINGS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.YOU DONT INSPIRE OTHERS.YOUR DNA CARRIES NATURAL HATRED AND ENVY FOR HH BECAUSE IS TONGA AND TONGAS ARE BELIEVED TO HARD WORKING AND INTELLIGENT WHICH YOU CANT MUCH.
UPND IS REAL *****!
UPND insults and accuses everyone. First it’s ECZ, then the Church, the courts, the army, the police, next it will be God.
I think UPND has developed a mania. They insult and accuses everyone. First it’s ECZ, then the Church, the courts, the army, the police, now it’s the UN and next it will be God.
PF bootlickers have gone to court to block the impeachment. They were bragging about numbers in parliament but they have now realised that pf mps are not behind Lungu. Rogan must go. period
Where is the secret report? It’s no longer a secret now that you have a copy.
These UPND guys and their followers hate Lungu with passion and for no good reason except that one person is hungry for power. Zambia has not seen this kind of devilish hatred until now. It is the first of its kind in Zambia.
I thought UPND reported the case to the International Criminal Court ( ICC) and the 2016 Elections were to be canceled or HH be made President by 15th December, 2016. What has happened kanshi since then?
Kanshi tabalaingila nanomba mwaaaaa???? These issues mwandini we are tired, let fresh Air flow ………Bring up something else than 2016 election issues whole year round…………..almost two years now still Elections.
When is HH going to be made President by ICC ? has the dates Changed again?
Apparently the ICC has appealed to the concourt hence the delay in making the I’d!ot president!! Kkkkkkkk
A few months back they said they are talking to Donald Trump…how is that going or how did it go? LOL. And that report to the ICC how is it going
Trump has no time for idio.ts he is busy with the “Rocket Boy”. Okay but ba cimbwi baesawee,two years down the line still bitter? Buloshi ubu?
Ba UPND banjikata kumaisobole. Not only that, Mwanjikata kumaiyeiye
Nest hh will accuse his fellow upnd members of conniving with PF to win the 2016 elections, lastly his wife and children.
Next
Useress tribal party grouping!
I have said many times that HH has no fixed position . He was the first one to defend the compromised Cuba ambassador but today he is attacking Pf for comming out in defence of Ms organ the UN country rep. This man ride on the popularity of the dead and he has no age da or phillosophy he bases his desire to be president. I know he is followed by people who will tolerate him even when he is displaying open double standards Hoping he will change in state house. people who thing that they are the most wise are in fact the dullest of all. HH needs a break to reflect and refresh his mind so that he can rediscovered er himself. It seem he is overwhelmed with 5 losses that he is not ready for another one. It’s not suprising to see people why are not happy with Pf running to Kabwili party intend…
